Weekend book sale

Posted: Tuesday, January 6, 2009, 9:48 am

Show your support for one of the best public library systems in Ohio by attending the Friends Foundation of Worthington Libraries' book sale this weekend in the Old Worthington Library meeting room.

The sale will be held from 9am-5pm on Friday (January 9) and Saturday (January 10), and from 1-5pm on Sunday (January 11). Genres include children's, classics, cookbooks, home and garden, hardback and paperback fiction, travel and more. Most books are $1 each; Sunday pricing will be $3 per bag.

The Friends Foundation raises money through membership and book sales, which enable the organization to support Worthington Libraries activities and services not always covered by public funding. Each year, the Friends Foundation contributes more than $35,000 to the Library. These funds support library programs attended by more than 40,000 people annually. Programs include storytimes for children and teen book discussions, author visits and other special events.
